As seen on a walk around our lake. It’s managed to stay there for a couple of weeks, which is wild for this area. It’s definitely visible to the average passerby. Sometimes, it’s the little things….

Tintype studio portrait (scanned from original 5x7) by Salt Lake City photographer Brett Briggs. First “formal” portrait I’ve had done with my son and I. 🔥 I love the emotion of emulsion.

So we’ve (the U.S.) officially bowed out of the World Health Organization? And we’re the *only* country to ever do this? Awesome. Great. We’ll be fine. This is fine. Everything’s fine.

Also…they’re measuring the potential for ice in Austin, TX for this upcoming storm by…. <checks notes>…<looks up>…golden retrievers.

Palate cleanser. Watching my dad and mom in their 70’s and 80’s out walking with my son; their grandson. “Baba, we have to balance on the curb. The ground is hot lava!” And they happily oblige…well, grandma does. Grandpa has a bum knee, but still walks miles every day! THIS gives me all the joy.

I received a most excellent gift for my birthday a few days ago from my dear friend Jenn, and in hit me right in the feels. Even more-so knowing she ordered it a few months ago when Weir was still with us. It’s a quilt made with Grateful Dead album covers including Cornell ‘77. Feeling extra loved.

The smell of a new cassette tape is a vividly strong *core memory*. I can’t explain it. (I do wonder if it was the Chromium(IV) oxide of the tape, or something in the ink or paper of the j-card?) Anyone else love it? The scent ranks right up there with petrichor and chocolate chip cookies for me.

Shout out to Melania Trump's home country, Slovenia, for putting Donald Trump on the cover of 'Objektiv' magazine. Not only did they give him a 'H*tler' style moustache, but they also made it out of oil.

Bingo. We need all the organizations and businesses with any amount of spine and decency left, to stand up for what we all know is right. Trump’s ends do not justify his means. Do we really want 3 more years awaiting fresh horrors every week? I don’t think we (or our democracy) survives that long.
This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

So, ICE is now going to door-to-door to round up people?
Any suggestions on how to stop this without getting people killed, because you’re not coming in my house without a judge-signed warrant.
I feel like I read a story about this once. Something about a diary and a young girl hiding in an attic.

BREAKING REPORTS: Ice has blocked off an entire street and is going door to door in Minneapolis. This has been also reported by @veronicadelacruztv.bsky.social

I mean, none of any of this is normal, but this is super not normal. He just gets up mid-thought to go see the ballroom *he* sees every day? And the way Vance and Rubio look over at each other….omg. He should be with his home healthcare aide, not leading meetings.
Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

I’m just feeling all the feels. Been getting calls & texts from friends and family today- sharing memories, checking in & saying hi. Not sure which came first in a lot of cases - the music or the friendship? But it certainly has a magical way of bringing us together. Thank you Bob Weir. Rest now in✌️
